Mobile is eating the world. There is no point in drawing a distinction between the future of technology and the future of mobile. By 2020, 80% of the adults on earth will have a smartphone.
A new iPhone CPU has 625 more transistors than a 1995 Pentium. Apple sold 25x more transistors than were in all the PCs on the whole planet in 1995... on the iPhone's launch weekend. On mobile, more time is spend in apps than on the web. Smartphones & tablets are now half of consumer the electronics industry. More cameras have been sold as part of smartphones than as cameras. Technology is taking up an increasing share of human attention. Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon are more than 15% of all global brand value. What tech do children say they'd miss most? Mobile. Computing devices used for video outnumber "televisions." When tech is fully adopted, it 'disappears' -- use of the word "railways" started declining around 1920, "steel" in 1950, "computerization" in the late 1990s, and "software" in the early 2000s.
